Filter by:Multicentre, exploratory, prospective, open-labelled study to evaluate the efficacy of SE5-OH tablets on menopausal symptoms in healthy women experiencing menopausal symptoms after 12 weeks of administration. The study will be performed in 10 hospitals (private and public) located in Spain. Recruitment period of 6 months will be defined in order to include up to 300 healthy volunteers from different national hospitals and clinics.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of NOE-115 on moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) due to menopause in women.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), a nonpharmacological method, on menopausal symptoms and depression in postmenopausal women. By determining the effectiveness of the Emotional Freedom Technique, the applicability of non-pharmacological method treatment in women with depression and menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal period will be proven. As a result of the study, if a positive effect on menopausal symptoms and depression is found in women with EFT, it can be recommended as an evidence-based alternative method in midwifery and nursing care.
Menopause is one of the most significant lifecourse challenges for women. The decline in female sex hormones, in particular estrogen, during menopause leads to an increased risk in cardiometabolic diseases, and a decrease in quality of life due to symptoms such as low mood, anxiety, hot flushes and difficulty sleeping. As life expectancy continues to increase, on average, women will spend one third of their life in the postmenopausal period. Increasing evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays a key role in menopause-related symptoms and conditions, being one of the main regulators of circulating sex hormones. Menopause has been linked to gut dysbiosis and lower gut microbial diversity, therefore nutritional strategies targeting the gut microbiome may be an effective approach to improve women's health during menopause. Both (poly)phenols and probiotics are promising candidates for the prevention and treatment of menopausal symptoms via different mechanisms, including the modulation of the gut-brain axis, while emerging evidence indicates that using both together may be a better approach than traditional carbohydrate-based synbiotics. To our knowledge, the efficacy of a (poly)phenol based synbiotic targeting the gut microbiome for improvement of menopausal symptoms has not been investigated so far.
This study aimed to determine the effects of Kegel exercise and Ba Duan Jin applications applied to premenopausal women with urinary incontinence on quality of life and psychological well-being. Study Group of the Research: Premenopausal women between the ages of 45-55 who come to the family health center with any complaint and have urinary incontinence. The research will be conducted as a randomized pre-test, post-test and control group intervention study design. The research will be conducted with women aged 45-55 with urinary incontinence who came for examination for any reason to a Family Health Center in Sinop between March 2024 and July 2024. According to the power analysis, the number of participants was calculated to be at least 54 when the type 1 error was taken as 0.05, the power was 0.95 and the effect size was medium (0.25) for the two-group design with two repeated measurements. To prevent possible data loss, the sample size was increased by 10% and the total number of participants was determined as 60. A total of 60 women, 30 experimental and 30 control, coming to the Family Health Center will be randomly included in the study. No information, Kegel exercise program and Ba Duan Jin applications will be given to the women in the experimental group, and no intervention will be given to the control group during the research process. Participants will be assigned to 2 groups: experimental and control. Those who come to FHC on odd days of the month will be included in the experimental group, and those who come on even days of the month will be included in the control group. Each group will be determined as 30 people. After the research is completed, the interventions applied to the experimental group will be applied to the women in the control group. Personal Information Form, Psychological Well-Being Scale and Incontinence Quality of Life Scale will be applied to women in the experimental and control groups as pre-test measurements. As a final test, the same measurements will be made to both the control group and the experimental group 16 weeks after the first measurement.
The aim of this research is to 1) test how the skin blood vessels and sweat glands function in women who experience hot flushes by using skin microdialysis to deliver small amounts of substances to the skin that cause increased skin blood flow and sweating, and 2) examine the structure of the skin blood vessels and sweat glands in the skin of women who experience hot flushes by taking a very small skin biopsy. Any changes in the function or structure of the skin blood vessels or sweat glands in women with hot flushes would increase our understanding of what causes hot flushes and help to design effective treatments.
The purpose of this research is to determine whether hot water therapy (i.e. taking prolonged hot baths on multiple consecutive days) decreases hot flash symptoms and improves mood in women who are undergoing or who have underwent menopause. It is hypothesized that women who undergo hot water therapy will have reduced hot flash symptoms and improved mood. Initial tracking period: Women who volunteer to participate in this study will be asked to track the frequency and intensity of their hot flash and other menopause-related symptoms for an initial two week period. Afterwards, they will start their heat therapy program. Physiological assessments: On days 1, 7, and 13 of the heat therapy sessions, the participants will enter a climate controlled room to have their thermoregulatory responses assessed. This will consist of slowly walking on a motorized treadmill in 99.5°F (37.5°C) and 30% relative humidity conditions, for 30 min, after which the humidity in the climate chamber will be progressively increased until their core temperature begins to increase (~2 hour total time). Before and/or during these trials, core temperature, heart rate, whole-body sweat losses, thermal comfort, local sweat rate, and skin blood flow will be measured, and a 6 ml (~1 tsp) blood sample will be taken, to assess how the participants respond to the heat stress. These sessions should take less than 3 hours to complete. Hot water therapy sessions: Upon enrolling in the study, the participants will be assigned to one of two groups: water bathing at 105°F or 97°F in the lab. On days 2-6 and 8-12 of the therapy sessions, the participants will immerse themselves to a water level at the shoulders for ~30 min, followed by immersion to the hip level for ~60 min (total immersion time of 90 min). Post-intervention tracking period: after completing the heat therapy sessions, the participants will be asked to continue to take baths at home once every 4 days for 1 month. During this time, the participants will be asked to record the intensity and frequency of their hot flashes daily and other menopause-related symptoms weekly. At the end of this month the participants will be given a final exit survey, in order for them to provide the researchers information about their experience participating in the study.
The overall objective of the study is to examine the effect of an 8-hour time-restricted eating intervention on lipid levels and body composition in peri- and recently postmenopausal women with untreated dyslipidemia.
This is a proof-of-concept phase 2 clinical trial to investigate the effect of the phytoestrogenic supplement PhytoSERM on vasomotor symptoms and other symptoms associated with the menopausal transition, and on blood-based biomarkers in peri- and postmenopausal women. After the screening period, participants will be randomized to PhytoSERM 50 mg pills (administered orally, once per day) or matching placebo, 1:1 allocation, for a period of 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, all participants in the placebo group will be crossed-over to receive PhytoSERM pills for the remainder of the study (open-label phase).
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the differences of intestinal flora and saliva flora between menopausal women, and the changes after medication, to find the association between the two and menopausal syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What are the differences in intestinal flora and saliva flora in menopausal women with hot flashes and sweating. - Whether these differences change after using traditional Chinese medicine and the association between intestinal, salivary flora and menopausal syndrome. 60 patients will be screened according to the clinical experimental criteria. They will be randomly divided into trial group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). The test group takes traditional Chinese medicine Qingxin Zishen decoction, and the control group takes oral Femoston, comparing the two groups with analysis of symptom improvement, intestinal flora and salivary flora with 16S rRNA sequencing technology.
